What I would do now is take them off and send them to me. I will heat them up 
and try to anneal the ez-outs. Once they are softer, I would try to drill them 
out with a left hand drill. That usually takes them right out when there's no 
ez-out in there, but I don't know how successful I'll be in this case. 

The rear bleed valves are M6 x 1 thread and I have replacements, but I agree 
that they should have been a little bigger.  

I also have rebuilt 7/8 type 3 wheel cylinders as well as a few other odd 
sizes, but it would still be best if I could see your old ones to make sure you 
got the right replacements.
